Without perfect joining technology, there is no flawless measurement technology. In this key role, you are the crucial link between product development and highly automated manufacturing. Your impact is immediately measurable:
You ensure that new products can be welded efficiently and to the highest quality standards. As a technological spearhead, you do not just solve acute problems; you elevate existing welding processes to the next level of automation and reliability.

• Hands-on Automation: You are responsible for the programming and parameterization of state-of-the‑art welding systems during the industrialization of new products.
• Process Evolution: You analyze existing workflows, identify potential, and drive process optimizations in a proactive and data‑driven manner.
• Technical Consulting: In the event of complex system and process disruptions, you act as the central "Single Point of Contact" and problem‑solver for internal departments as well as external partners.

• Foundation: Completed technical degree in mechanical engineering.
• Technical Expertise: Several years of deep theoretical and practical experience in arc welding.
• The Strong Plus: A certification as a Welding Engineer (SFI/IWE) alongside knowledge in the metallurgy of corrosion‑resistant steels.
• Methodology & Tech: You preferably bring experience in programming welding robots. Quality and lean methodologies (e.g., FMEA, Six Sigma, DOE) are familiar tools to you.
• Mindset: You possess a strong affinity for numbers and data, an excellent understanding of processes, and you communicate clearly.
• Languages: very good German and English skills to ensure smooth interdisciplinary collaboration.
